How to competently select and implement a project with VIDEX LED strips

Criteria for selecting tapes:

1. Goal → Decorative / Background / Main light?
2. Location → Dry room / Wet area / Outdoor?
3. Budget → Minimum / Optimal / Premium?
4. Color → Static (warm) / Static (white) / Static (daytime)?
5. Power supply → Is there a power supply? A stable system is required?

Formula for a light project on an LED strip

Brightness (Lm/m) × length (m) = total luminous flux (Lm)

General Lm ÷ 100 = equivalent lamp in watts (W)

Power and power supply:

• Calculate the power of the belt (W/m × length).
• Add 20–30% stock.
• Select the required power supply unit.
• Do not use sockets directly — only through a controller or driver.

Installation tips

1. Do not cut the tape randomly, but only along the special markings. Otherwise — ruin the tape.
2. Do not extend the power supply beyond 5 m on a single line — Next come losses and voltage drops. Supply power from both ends
3. Do not stick the tape on immediately. First, try it on, turn it on, check the temperature and color. Then — record.
